Fair enough. My mistake...

“There was more than one lobster present at the birth of Jesus?”

it’s very specifically Karen Parker

“First lobster” has proven to be a surprisingly versatile quote in day-to-day discourse at the Valsalvic household...

I had to giggle at Rife’s Dark Crimes description: “Starring Jim Carrey in a performance completely drained of charisma and Charlotte Gainsbourg (who seriously needs to fire her agent) in yet another abused-woman role” How much Charlotte Gainsbourg did he have in him, and how long did it take to drain completely?…

If we were undecided based on his consistent willingness to go to insane lengths to entertain, this just underscores that, his abundant cultish weirdness notwithstanding, the man simply loves film.

I know this is a case of actual higher frame rate, and not interpolation, but I remember loving the moniker “The Hobbit: Telenovela Edition” when the 48fps An Unexpected Journey first came out...

“Cuarón’s film had heart, but Folded-Up Pizza In The Mouth had a folded-up pizza in the mouth!”

The more clearly we can see him, the less certain we are of whether he’s real...

Now that’s all I can see, too. Jacket Phoneman is the hero we deserve, but not the one we need right now.

Exactly what I came to post. Should’ve known it’d be covered...

It was actually the “all-time ... in recent memory” that got me, but a “most” also wouldn’t hurt.

Once didn’t do too badly on this front. Falling Slowly was positioned as a believable “help me flesh out this song I’ve written”, and the studio tech’s impressed “wow” at the end of When Your Mind’s Made Up is priceless.

“[T]hanks to one of the all-time obnoxious walkbacks of a character farewell in recent memory”... seems like something’s not quite right with that phrase.

I look forward to being schooled by other members with far better examples, but Justified did the same flexible-chronology thing with Elmore Leonard’s Raylan Givens canon three years earlier. Mind you, Leonard himself wasn’t shy about taking liberties with his own book-film distinctions (think the book Road Dogs,…

You know, like the Jason Statham movie, The Neg.

Wow, deep cut with “Tommyknockers-esque”. I know you’re talking about the party scene, but now I can’t stop picturing Jimmy smashing Schweikart with a flying Coke machine, while screaming, “Is that Coke-ly enough for ya?”

For the sake of the world’s orthodontia, let’s hope that’s the case...

Well done. Today I recommend a Filthy Whore.

Fair point. Being under the thumb of Uncanny Chuck takes its toll...
